IP (Internet Protocol)A protocol that specifies the way data is broken into packets and the way those packets are addressed for transmission. Unlike traditional telephone lines which create a straight path from caller to recipient; IP uses the best available path at any given moment to move data packets between point A & point B. The beauty of IP is that the sending end and receiving end communicate success in sending and receiving to insure all data packets are delivered. A really great concept of IP is that of self healing. If a route is broken and the data packets cannot be delivered an alternate route is automatically selected.

LCDThe acronym for "Liquid Crystal Display". The most commonly used technology for numeric/text or graphical displays.

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)Internationally recognized IP telephony signaling protocol used for VoIP. This is the most widely used protocol in the market and is a standard meaning anybody who builds a SIP 2.0 compliant product should work with any other SIP 2.0 compliant device. For instance our Talkswitch is compliant so any off the shelf SIP phone will work as an endpoint for a home phone or a remote worker. The trick with SIP 2.0 is that the combined devices will work to the feature set of the lowest common denominator meaning a SIP 2.0 telephone only support 80% of the SIP feature set then even though the telephone system supports a higher set of features, you will only have the base features of the phone.

SpeakerphoneA phone that has a microphone and a speaker that allows you to talk to your caller without lifting the handset. This is best used in private offices and when multi party conferencing is required. Never use a speakerphone in a noisy environment.

TransferThis business feature allows an employee to send a call to another phone without having to announce the call first. This is the typical means for moving a call through a PBX phone system.

I will look to these guys first for all of my telecomm needs in the future. While they are in NY and I'm in GA, they still manage to be more accessible than the local guys to answer my questions.Eric Lichtfuss
